Ac
cording to the Daily Mail, James Dimaggio's father (also called James Dimaggio) committed suicide 18 years to the day of his sons death, after holding
a 16-year-old girl captive in a violent home invasion. The similarities are chilling.

A friend of kidnap-murder suspect James DiMaggio, who was fatally shot by a federal officer in an Idaho forest preserve Saturday, said he may
have wanted to die on the same date and under similar circumstances as his father.

During a variety of broadcast interviews Saturday, family friend Andrew Spanswick ,of West Hollywood, said he and DiMaggio's sister worried all day
Saturday that he would not be taken alive.

"I thought he was probably going to die either by his own hand or someone else's," Spanswick said. "I guess in some way it's what he wanted, but
it's unfortunate that it couldn't have ended in another way."

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, James Lee DiMaggio's father, James Everet DiMaggio, was wanted by police in connection with the baseball bat
beatings of two people in an El Cajon motel. He pleaded guilty to assault and was sent to prison, the newspaper said.

A prosecutor said the elder DiMaggio had earlier broken into the home of an ex-girlfriend in a dispute over a car, but only the woman's teenaged
daughter and her boyfriend were there, so he handcuffed the boyfriend to a bed.

The girl escaped after asking to use the bathroom, the prosecutor said.

The now adult woman at the center of the earlier incident involving James Everet DiMaggio in 1989 told interviewers Saturday that the elder DiMaggio
professed his love for her when she was 16, and that he broke into her house when she wouldn't go away with him.

James Everet DiMaggio died from a "drug-induced" suicide," on Aug. 10, 1998, Spanswick said.

Exactly like the younger
DiMaggio's relationship with Hannah Anderson, James Everet took care of Dusenberry's two children, including the 16-year-old daughter, and took them
on road trips. A contemporary interview, which you can watch above, with the 16-year-old girl reveals that James Everet DiMaggio declared his love to
the teen and asked her to run away with him. www.heavy.com...

Very interesting stuff. I wonder if there was more to the relationship with the mother. DiMaggio and br may hav had something going on and she was
going to end it. It did seem pre-meditated since he had all of the equipment. What does not make sense is the DNA kit found in her vehicle.

Its not her outfit thats odd, its her demeanor thats odd. She does not act anything like anyone ive ever seen act after losing a family member,
especially a mother and younger brother.
I mean really, it was around two days after her "rescue" that she was hamming it up on ask.fm and here on the carwash benefit, shes bouncing around
like she doesnt have a care in the world.

Anyway, I think the poster above me is right, I think the mom found out about an affair and threatened to go to the cops.

I agree, I do not care what she wears, it's certainly the question and answer session that threw up the most flags. I can appreciate the possibility
that it is a coping method but if it is I do not think it is healthy. I lost a parent in an abrupt and traumatizing way but by no means could I
imagine how traumatizing that situation would have been. She needs to grieve, and if she does not she may have other mental issues. I want to know
more about the mother and her relationship with DiMaggio. I will see if I can dig up something about her.

And what better time to show you like guys when you have all this exposure because of an imcompetent parent who couldn't give a rat's butt about you
than to let you take trips to a far away town with a 40 year old man.

Tonight on HLN Hannah's great aunt mentioned a nickname that people called her. I believe it was "Mirror Girl" which wasn't clarified, but I
interpreted it as narcissistic personality. She likes to look at herself in the mirror. We are missing an important piece of the puzzle that the
media refuses to address.

Girls her age can be desperate for positive attention.

And their appearance is an ever constant concern.

Self-consciousness and narcissism aren't the same thing.

She may be more dependent on self love given that her mother obviously didn't give a rats behind about her to let a 40 year old man take her out of
town alone. Her mother sounds like a victim who was trying to get her child victimized.

Well, here's some interesting news — In 2011 DiMaggio changed the sole beneficiary of his $112,000 employee-issued life insurance policy from his
sister to Bernice Anderson, Hanna's grandmother.

It is also possible that since we know little about his sister's financial status that he felt she didn't need the money and chose to leave it to
the children he felt were a part of his life.

We also know very little about Hannah's family and their financial situation. It was stated in one article that the father was working in another
state which would imply he needed the work regardless of where it was. Factor in all the time Jimmy D spent shuttling the kids around and it almost
sounds like Hannah's dad wasn't all that involved in their daily lives.

Just taking a look at what Brett Anderson (Hannah's dad) looks like i would also guess that he is former military based on his hair cut.

There is alot to question in this case, and a lot that doesn't make sense, but until i see something that really links this guy to Hannah in more
than a familial way i am still voting for CIA operative silenced for what he knew instead of sex crazed maniac.

His links to the Navy and to a classified research project have already been shown.

Ok, what exactly would you recommend she wear when going to a carwash on a hot day in California?

Perhaps something from the Martha Stewart Collection?

She is a teenage girl in California in the summertime, of course she is dressed like that....i am willing to bet most of the girls in California and
every other state is wearing clothes similar to that.
